For anyone hitting the same problem: I stopped on a workaround using
virtual DOM element:
...
    var MSHTML = document.createElement('div');
    MSHTML.innerHTML = source.transformNode(XSL);
    return MSHTML.firstChild;
...

It is not a full-scaled hack like in Sarissa so it doesn't take care of
more complicated cases - a set of sibling elements, mal-formed fragment
and so on.
For my practical purposes though I fits well as it will be a
well-formed single parent out of a transformation (list, table, shape).
For such trivial cases it lets to bypass the IE's limitation with the
minimum overheat.
